US Health Index (USHX)

US Health Index (USHX) is a blockchain-native synthetic benchmark token designed to define and track the economic performance, cost inflation, and structural dynamics of the United States healthcare sector.

USHX functions as an on-chain reference indicator, providing transparent, rules-based, and auditable exposure to U.S. healthcare macro trends.

Creator: Simon Kapenda, founder of US Health Index Inc., and creator of SACE Index (SACE), CillarCoin (CILLAR), and Namibia Digital Dollar (NADD).

USHX does not represent ownership of equities, ETFs, derivatives, or any financial instruments. It is a benchmark reference token intended solely for informational, analytical, and integration purposes.


Overview

USHX is designed as an institutional-grade benchmark product, comparable in function (but not legal form or structure) to healthcare indices published by traditional index providers such as S&P, MSCI, or Bloomberg. Unlike off-chain indices, USHX is implemented natively on blockchain infrastructure, enabling programmability, verifiability, and continuous auditability.

The USHX benchmark is methodology-driven, governance-controlled, and designed to support read-only integration by external protocols, analytics platforms, and institutional users.

USHX is scheduled to deploy on BSC Mainnet in January 2026.


Whitepaper

The full institutional documentation for US Health Index (USHX), including index methodology, governance framework, legal and benchmark-style disclaimers, smart contract architecture, and contract–whitepaper feature cross-mapping, is available in the official Whitepaper:

Whitepaper v1.0
https://github.com/abba-platforms/USHX/blob/main/WHITEPAPER.md


Index Design Summary

USHX is structured as a synthetic composite benchmark reflecting multiple dimensions of the U.S. healthcare sector. The index operates with the following parameters:

  • Base Index Value: 1,000
  • Maximum Supply: 10,000,000,000 USHX
  • Benchmark Role: Primary on-chain reference indicator

Composite Index Structure (Illustrative)

Pillar Indicative Weight
Healthcare equity performance 55–65%
Healthcare cost inflation 15–20%
Insurance & services dynamics 10–15%
Innovation adjustment 5–10%

Weights are published, rules-based, and adjusted only through governance or scheduled methodology review, as described in the Whitepaper.


Token Characteristics

  • Token Name: US Health Index
  • Symbol: USHX
  • Token Standard: BEP-20 (ERC-20 compatible architecture)
  • Supply Model: Fixed maximum supply
  • Function: Synthetic benchmark reference token
  • Ownership Rights: None

USHX is not a currency, security, commodity, or investment product.


Smart Contract Architecture

The USHX smart contract is implemented using enterprise-grade Solidity architecture and audited open-source components, including:

  • OpenZeppelin standard libraries
  • UUPS upgradeable proxy architecture
  • Explicit admin proxy initialization
  • Multi-signature governance with quorum enforcement
  • On-chain methodology anchoring via cryptographic hashes
  • Role separation, upgrade controls, and emergency pause mechanisms

All contract features are mapped explicitly to Whitepaper clauses.


Governance Framework

USHX governance is designed to align with global benchmark governance standards.

  • Governance Model: Multi-signature control
  • Quorum Requirement: 3 of 5 authorized governors
  • Governance Scope:
    • Methodology updates
    • Parameter adjustments
    • Contract upgrades
    • Emergency controls

All governance actions are executed on-chain and are fully auditable.


Network & Deployment Status

  • Target Network: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) Mainnet
  • Deployment Status: Not yet deployed
  • Planned Deployment: January 2026
  • Official Contract Address: To be published upon deployment

Only contract addresses published in this repository should be considered official.


Versioning & Upgrade Policy

USHX follows explicit versioning for both methodology and smart contract components:

  • Smart Contracts: Semantic versioning (e.g., v1.0, v1.1, v1.7)
  • Whitepaper & Methodology: Independently versioned
  • Upgrades:
    • Executed only via governance quorum
    • Fully on-chain
    • Backward-compatible where feasible

Version alignment and upgrade rationale are documented in governance records.


Data Sources & Oracle Disclosure

USHX is a synthetic benchmark derived from public market and macroeconomic data as defined in its methodology.

  • The current contract does not custody funds
  • The current contract does not pull external oracle feeds
  • Index updates are executed via governance-controlled processes
  • Future oracle integrations (e.g., Chainlink) may be introduced only via governance and published methodology updates

Security & Audit Status

  • Audit Status: Planned prior to mainnet deployment
  • Audit Scope: Smart contract architecture, upgrade paths, governance controls
  • Responsible Disclosure:
    Security issues should be reported privately to the maintainers via the contact information published in this repository.

No guarantees are made regarding the absence of vulnerabilities.


Integration Guidance

USHX is intended for read-only integration as a benchmark reference.

Permitted uses include:

  • Analytics and research platforms
  • Protocol-level reference indicators
  • Academic and policy research
  • Internal institutional benchmarking

USHX is not designed for yield generation, payments, or consumer-facing financial applications.


Risk Factors

Use of USHX involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Methodology change risk
  • Governance and upgrade risk
  • Data representation risk
  • Smart contract risk
  • Network-level risk

These risks are described in further detail in the Whitepaper.
